FACTBOX-History of OPEC oil production changes

May 26 (Reuters) - The following are changes in oil output limits by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, dating from efforts in the late 1990s to prop up prices.

OPEC meets next week, June 2, to decide on production policy. It will be the first meeting attended by new Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih.

OPEC does not currently have a production target. At its December 2015 meeting, the group scrapped the previous limit of 30 million barrels per day (bpd) that had applied to all of its then 12 members for four years.

There are now 13 OPEC countries. Indonesia reactivated its OPEC membership at the same December 2015 meeting.

Volumes are in millions of barrels per day.

The ceiling of 28.8 million bpd was adjusted to reflect Indonesia's suspension of membership and to include Angola and Ecuador. *** Target of 30 million bpd applied to all 12 members including Iraq, which was previously exempt.
